Born in Springfield, Missouri, I am an Ozark's girl through and through. I grew up cheering for the St. Louis Cardinals, and can rarely pass up an order of Springfield's original cashew chicken. Nothing is better than an afternoon spent at Sequiota Park or a day in Branson with my nephews and niece.

I am a graduate of Christian Schools of Springfield and of Baptist Bible College. I have worked at Consumers Markets, Reliable Chevrolet, Sothern Studios, G.B. Vick Memorial Library, Park Crest Baptist Church and Baptist Bible Fellowship International. All of which are located in Springfield, Missouri.

I am a believer in Jesus Christ, and have been a member of Park Crest Baptist Church since I was a child. The Baptist Bible Fellowship International gave me their approval in 1998, and I have been doing mission work in Tanzania since 2000.

I love living and working in Tanzania, and am excited about what God is doing here.
